บท 187: Signs of Battle

"Oh, o-okay," 

…

A few days later and Master gave me a new robe which I immediately began to wear instead of my baggy, beaten, and torn cloak. 

It was soft to the touch but seemed powerful enough to negate an entire fireball with ease. 

"Alright, kid. Make sure to get back safely… I'll just be relaxing in my throne world for now until one of the other ancient monsters makes a move. Try not to die on me," He said, and after ruffling my hair a bit, he pushed me through a portal. 

A sinking feeling turned in my stomach and as soon as I began to seemingly freefall to my death… I arrived at the small exit of the warehouse gang. 

It was right where the fur coat dude and I departed to cross the moat and reach the other side of the city. 

"*sigh*... Had me worrying for nothing," I smirked and then walked through the underground base this gang had built.
